“There is no budget deal,” Democratic Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie tells reporters immediately after @GovKathyHochul.
“I don’t care what the governor says,” when asked if the final # is $268B spending plan.

Chemical recycling is not a solution to dealing with plastic waste, and it creates far more environmental and public health problems than it solves.

Big business is spending big money against me and my colleagues who are standing up for NY’s climate law.
They know the climate law is popular, so they must oppose it every way they can.

One of our member’s gas bill for her small 1 family home in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. Over $4,000! 😰
As our members struggle to pay energy bills, @governor.ny.gov Hochul pushes to *make it worse* by gutting NY’s climate law, locking us to oil & gas.
We protest in Albany today💪

#BucksforBoilers will lower our bills and cut pollution.
Plenty of Senators fought for the bill. But when we asked @BrianKavanaghNY to stand w/ us, he shook his head no.
This month we've been talking to his constituents who need to utility bill relief and their homes fixed up.

Why on earth would @GovKathyHochul veto such important legislation? Not the first time I've been disappointed in her.

The polls are extremely clear: an arms embargo is popular across the political spectrum and in swing states.
@KamalaHarris's refusal to call for one threatens to give Trump the Presidency.

I'm telling you... this is the sleeper issue of the race... The Harris plan to let Medicare cover home health care in lieu of having seniors deplete all of their savings to qualify for Medicaid is huge for folks in this situation.
21 Oct 2024
Q: How do you propose to make both child and elder care more affordable?
Vice President Harris: You fall into what we call the Sandwich Generation. There are so many Americans who are taking care of their kids and they're taking care of their aging parents. It’s just almost impossible to do it all. So I am proposing that we allow Medicare to cover in-home health care

Cuba’s electrical crisis is devestating, and U.S. policy is making it worse. We need to send humanitarian aid immediately and remove Cuba from the State Sponsors of Terrorism list. It’s time to prioritize the well being of the Cuban people.
20 Oct 2024
U.S. policy has directly contributed to Cuba's energy problems by sanctioning ships carrying oil to Cuba & starving the country of foreign exchange earnings it needs to import fuel & spare parts.
With large sections of the island still blacked out & a hurricane about to hit, now is the time for the U.S. to offer humanitarian assistance to help Cuba restore its electrical grid & deal with shortages of food & medicine that are impoverishing the Cuban people & driving unprecedented migration to the United States. cnn.com/2024/10/20/americas/…
